Correction Requested

I think the links to the "proper way to do pull-ups" and "proper way to do push-ups" are not correct on the Personal Fitness page as they link to the "proper way to do sit-ups".

Is this something someone can correct? Thanks Scouter123 22:12, July 31, 2009 (EDT)

HELP!!

Does anyone know where I can find a physical form? My scoutmaster told me to look on this site, but my search was fruitless. I have to get this badge done soon, but I can't start without that form.--Stranger 14:02, June 20, 2007 (EDT)

Just added added a couple of external links on the Personal Fitness page for you. --RWSmith 15:20, June 20, 2007 (EDT)

HELP!!!

I was told that I could find a page with a work-out schedule on this Personal Fit. page. Is it true? Does such thing exist? Can someone please help me? --Eaglebound

Clarification

1. Do the following:
a. Before completing requirements 2 through 9, have your health-care practitioner give you a
physical examination, using the Scout medical examination form. Describe the examination. Tell what
questions the doctor asked about your health. Tell what health or medical recommendations the
doctor made and report what you have done in response to the recommendations. Explain the
following:
1. Why physical exams are important
2. Why preventative habits are important in maintaining good health.
3. Diseases that can be prevented and how.
4. The seven warning signs of cancer.
5. The youth risk factors that affect cardiovascular fitness in adulthood.
b. Have a dental examination. Get a statement saying that your teeth have been checked and
cared for. Tell how to care for your teeth.

Is the statement "Before completing requirements 2 through 9" blanketing the entire requirement or just the first half?
